I have been gone for a while, but this little group has not gone forgotten. Blessings to you all, and I'll be back when I put a few more pieces back together.

I consider myself a Dharma Bum of Chaos, but I can add pagan in their somewhere.I have been off and on studying Magick and The Buddhadharma for most of the past quarter century and i have developed a most eclectic molding of beliefs and practices that i myselves most of the time cannot pin it down to any certainties. My life and practice flow like the river, ever turning, ever rolling, but always toward the ocean.

I've incorporated Eastern practices into my pagan practice for about 7 years now. I find that Buddhism's philosophy and methods are pretty much the best going for training to mind to change it's experience and perception of the world. (I prefer other culture's spiritualities for matters of devotion and metaphysics, though.)
I have formally taken several of the lay vows at a local Tibetan Buddhist temple, which I do my best to uphold - so there is definitely Buddhist Dharma in my path!

I also have begun serving the lwa, and in New Orleans there are two very prominent Vodou houses that are vegetarian/vegan (no blood or even meat is ever used in sacrifice), and one in particular that has taken very heavy influence from Tibetan Buddhism. My own relationship with the lwa will be guided by those same principals, and it's heartening to know that the spirits have accepted service in that ahimsa context (at least in New Orleans).

Hi everyone, I'm new here to this group. Have any of you taken formal refuge in the Dharma in any Buddhist teachings??

Howdy, I have been studying Buddhism, and Taoism for just over a year now...I combine alot of my wiccan practices with those I try to pick up from my more recient studies. Like my zen/farie garden. But like always Im a work in progress. my fav work books are Buddhism for idots, Buddhism for dummies and the tao of pooh and the te of piglet. Blessings.

Wow, look at our group grow! It warms my heart.

I would like to invite all that have not done so already to introduce yourself in the featured 'Introductions' discussion. It will help us get to know you, and help you get to know us. Don't worry if you just got interested in Buddhism yesterday... we're all here to learn, not judge.

Welcome all! I look forward to everyone's input making this the dynamic group I hoped it would be!

I happen to be a Quaker Universalist with Zen leadings. I am exploring all faiths to learn my own path..

Sorry I have been so lax lately.... In my industry, it is either feast of famine, and we just hit the feast time. That means working 10-12 hours a day with 4-6 hours of downtime. I have been running so hard and fast lately that I can barely tell if I am coming or going.

thanks for starting this group. my mother is a thai immigrant, and as buddhism is close to her spirit and culture. as a bi-racial/bi-cultural (thai/german) woman new to the pagan path, i've found myself trying to spiritually connect to both sides of my ancestory...it's confusing at times, though perhaps this is part of it. i'm curious to know if anyone else out there in the pagan-sphere has run into this...
